The Gibbs Family of Beaminster. Pt 2.
What a bonus to have another photo that is written on of the same Gibbs family!

So I offered the photos to Sarah, knowing they would be seen by people & also be going to a very good home. But this is not the end of the story……
This is a group of four great old photos, all kept together thankfully.
In my last part about the family with connections to A La Ronde, I thought I would share the few photos unidentified so far with you.
Recently I had a lovely surprise message from Alison, a friend on Twitter
So now I have identified the couple, the child on Mum Stella’s lap is indeed their first born Stella Joanna Matilda Parminter Tudor!
I was amazed to find that her daughter had inherited from a cousin, a very famous National Trust property!
It says “Cicely Burnip’s Daughter. From Thora with love to Bessy.”
Imagine my surprise when I looked on the back of these photos to see they were of a family from Beaminster, Dorset!
